For those of you not familiar with LandWarrior, it's a slightly postmodern military themed mod which takes great pride in having accurate weapon statistics, and yet is also balanced and fun. LW also boasts superior graphics, including expertly drawn pixel art and alpha-shaded effects.

(Extra text and stats is optional)

(The Alphas on the left are the classic LW gostek, the Bravos on the right are the new exoskeleton gostek)

(Sorry I don't have more pics, I lost all the old ones when Filefront changed. If people are interested, I'll get some more.)

Not bad...but some guns are little weird. I mean the size of somes and shading is a little weird...the colors ain't too realistic for me maybe it's because of the zoom. Could you upload no-zoomed picture of interface guns ? (In-game)....

...and gosh ! Scout without scope ? Original but I find it unussual...

And some guns lack on the real bright and real shading...as they are from metal they could have some more shading. Maybe I'm wrong it's just me and my opinion.

xtishereb:Yeah, I saw that I could use alpha transparency and had a field day

jrgp:For the health indicator, look at the gostek's morda (head) and ranny morda (bloody head) images. The morda is apparently hard-coded to fade from normal to ranny in direct proportion to the soldat's health.

Dairy:To see it unzoomed, just look at the image directly (this won't work on the other pics, though): http://selfmadespirit.googlepages.com/weapons.pngAs for the scope-free Scout, well, I needed some kind of rifle with no scope to fill the 'medium range sniper' role, and the Scout looked good.And as for the guns' brightness and shading levels, I tried to stay as close as possible to my source pictures. You think I should artistically deviate?

mxyzptlk:I admit that the Glock is not the best gun in my mod, but I mean, those things don't exactly have lots of details for me to show, neh? If you can show me a better one, though, I'd be happy to see how I can improve mine.

EDIT) Hey, I just had a new idea about the health indicator, please tell me what you think, everyone!Imagine that if the indicator, rather than fading from green to red, instead faded from green into nothing? That means that corpses would have no indicator, and if you were near death, you'd have better success at feigning death as well as hiding behind cover.

Like i said before (well i'm pretty sure i did - might have not) don't stick to source images as the guns are exposed to deliberate lighting and some parts are very bright due to that. Also, source images normally won't look good if the colours are directly transported into your own guns as they will be very similar and it won't look as good as what you can do yourself. For instance, your GM is far too bright and it normally has a medium-dark grey colour. The GM you have used must have been photographed under very bright lighting.

An excellent example of a well made Glock (curtesy of Papasurf):

Shading might not be totally imaculate but the colour and the shape is absolutely perfect in every respect.

Okay, new Glock in LandWarrior 2.1. I'll release 2.1 when it's more than just that, m'kay? I'm taking a second look at the shading of the other guns, too. Anything else?

I'm especially interested in the area of weapon balance. It could take some serious playtesting to reveal everything I've attempted to stash in there. For instance, did you know that if you do it just right, you can use the Nova to kill someone at full health with a single headshot? Did I make it too easy or too hard to pull that off?

Damnit, Sky, how many times do I have to tell you that I'm not going to replace the Forces with a DAO-12? You have one autoshotgun. That is plenty. Some of us /like/ dual weapons.
